Gettysburg and the Franco-Prussian
War

During the Franco russian war l

from day to day to indicate the move
ments of the two armies. Pazine had
been driven to shelter at Metz. Nc
Mahon had been driven back to the
route leading from Paris to Metz and
seemed in doubt whether he would go
to Paris or to Bazaine's relief. He suf-
fered himself TO be forced north of the
route between these points. On the
morning that the wires brought us that
information, two or three of the French
creoles of New Orleans visited my
office to inquire my views of the move
ments then proceeding. / replied,
"McMahon's army will be prisoners of
war in ten days" They were very in
dignant and stated that / was repub-
lican and in sympathy with the Prus-
slams. My reply was that L had only
given them my solution of military
problem. The Prussians were on the
shorter route to Paris or to Metz, so
that if Mcmahon should attempt to
move in either direction the Prussians,

beaten and demoralized that he could
not be expected to make successful
attack, and would therefore be obliged
to surrender. If he had gone directly
to Paris before giving up his shorter
route, it is possible that he could have

lief of Metz.
Had we interposed between Meade
and Washington our army, in almost as
successful prestige as was that of the
Prussans, Meade would have been
obliged to attack us wherever We might
be pleased to have him. He would have
been badly beaten like the French, and
the result would have been similar.
] do not mean to say that two govern
ments would have been permanently
established; for thought before the
war, and during its continuance, that
the peoples would eventually get to-
gether again in stronger bonds of
friendship than those of their first love.

Fell In n Tree.

These days of waiting were also en-
hvened by the misadventure of one of
our soldiers, who thought that he, too,
could travel on skees. He got hold of
a pair, one of which had its front end
broken off just where it turns up to
keep from digging down into the snow.
He pranced around ON the level all
right and made good progress down
hill, too, until, while going at a very
rapid rate, he came to a fallen log.
The good skee went over the log all
right, but the broken one slid under,
and all we could see was a confused
army blue tinted dissolving view of
skees and pole, boots, cap, and brass
buttons. When the smoke cleared
away, behold Mr.. Soldier literally up a
tree. He had been fred bodily into a
low tree. where a broken limb had

The Cunning of an Otter.

In the Geological Gardens there is
an otter that had couple OF young
ones. One day these young ones got
into the pond and were quite unable to
climb up it's perpendicular sides. The
mother appeared anxious to get them
out, and made several useless attempts
to reach them from this side of the
pond. She then plunged into the
water, and, after playing with one OF
them for short time, she put her head
close to its ear, as if to make it under.

at my seeming indifference. where they
had expected TO see an outpouring of dis

into the depths of my heart-they had not
seen 1t, broken, crushed and shattered as
it was.
A number of friends accompanied me
home, where they wished to remain awhile
to solace the hours of my loneliness: but
when they came to understand that wished
to be left alone they respected my feelings
and left, one by one, until the last one had
gone. The hours of the afternoon had
passed away unconsciously, and when
found myself alone darkness had super

one of my friends had thoughtfully lighted
the argand lamp, and its clear, strong light
now flooded over my study-for it was to
